Homeschool families often feel that there&#8217;s no time to contribute in a meaningful way to other people as they are so tied up with their own daily schedule and requirements. Here are a set of ideas that you could apply in your regular curriculum as a homeschool teacher.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Start at Home<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The Good Luck Note<\/em> &#8211; Hide an encouraging note for a sibling in one of their tough subject notebooks. Tell them they can master it. Offer to help them with it if you are any good at the subject.<\/p>\n<p><em>Share the Chore<\/em> &#8211; Things like filling empty water bottles, making the beds, helping with taking the trash out, are often chores that are rotated among the homeschool students. Surprise a sibling by doing their chore for the day, after finishing your own, of course.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Uplifting Artwork<\/em> &#8211; Create a card for an elderly member of the family. Uncles, aunts, and grandparents are obvious choices to start with. It could even be an acquaintance. Write a short note inside and post it to them.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Expand to the Neighborhood<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Sweet Gestures<\/em> &#8211; Make a sweet treat like cookies, cupcakes, chocolate fudge, or anything else that the homeschool students enjoy. Ensure that you make a double batch and then package half of it. Take these out and distribute them in your neighborhood.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Cleanliness Drive<\/em> &#8211; Take an hour out and set about picking up trash in the neighborhood. Have gloves and trash bags handy to dispose off whatever is collected. You can even make this a weekly feature and have kids from the other houses in the area join in.<\/p>\n<p><em>Help the Neighbors<\/em> &#8211; Depending on the age group of the neighbors there are many things that the homeschool students can do. Things like yard work, washing the car, taking over a simple soup and salad meal, or simply going grocery shopping for them would work.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Thank You Note<\/em> &#8211; Write a letter to a soldier thanking them for their service. There are many agencies that will forward your letter to appropriate people. You can get details of how to post the letter through a simple online search.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Completing random acts of kindness is a great way to instill a deep value system in your homeschool students about caring for others, finishing what you start, and personal commitment.
